1 | By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. |
2 | My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. |
3 | Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. |
4 | Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me. |
5 | Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day. |
6 | Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they. |
7 | Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness` sake, O Jehovah. |
8 | Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way. |
9 | He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way. |
10 | All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. |
11 | For Thy name`s sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great. |
12 | Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose. |
13 | His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land. |
14 | The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know. |
15 | Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet. |
16 | Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I. |
17 | The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out. |
18 | See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins. |
19 | See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me. |
20 | Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee. |
21 | Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee. |
22 | Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses! |
